What might appear to be a sudden and excruciating case of lower back pain with an accompanying (and baffling) weakness of one leg might actually be something called sciatica. According to Spine-health™, sciatica is not so much of a medical condition, but a series of symptoms that develop as a result of an irritated sciatic nerve—a nerve that runs through the lower back down to the buttock and lower limb. The symptoms associated with sciatica are lower back pain, pain and/or numbness in a buttock, and aching or weakness in some parts of the leg and foot. In severe cases, sciatica can disable proper use of one leg, or even cause bowel and/or bladder incontinence.
